Blackout: CNN, Fox, and MSNBC Ignore Thousands Of US Day Of Rage Protesters

Posted by Curmilus Dancy II (Butch) on September 18, 2011

Most Americans are being kept in the dark about the US Day of Rage by the corporate cable news giants at CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC who have imposed a de facto blackout on the protest.

Even though estimates have varied from hundreds to as many as 50,000 protesters flooded into Manhattan and others cities to take part in events around the country to, “nonviolently disrupt the disloyal, incompetent, and corrupt special interests which have usurped our nation’s civil and military power, spawning a host of threats to our liberty, lives and national security,” the three cable news networks have devoted no airtime to the story.

Rocky Mount NC – CNN special on slayings praised–Rocky Mount Telegram

Posted by Curmilus Dancy II (Butch) on November 12, 2010

Last weekend, Rocky Mount was part of a CNN special investigation titled “Easy Prey” about serial killers who prey on drug addicts, prostitutes and other vulnerable members of society to victimize.

“Part of the mission of the documentary was to highlight the victims and the type of victim being chosen and why it takes a certain amount of time for these cases to be solved and these killers to be caught,” said Scott Matthews, CNN Director of Special Investigations and Documentaries. “It is tougher to get the media coverage and momentum behind the investigation because of who the victims are.” (Read more)

City leaders vow justice for murders–Source: Rocky Mount Telegram

Posted by Curmilus Dancy II (Butch) on November 8, 2010

The sounds of gospel music rang out Saturday from East End Baptist Church for the anniversary and concert fundraiser for Parents and Relatives of Missing and Murdered.

The church was packed with community members who came to show their support for the families of nine women and one man whose bodies were found in and around Rocky Mount since 2003. Two more women still are missing. A taskforce is investigating links in the cases, and authorities have said they believe the murders could be the work of a serial killer. (Read more

CNN Murdered And Missing Women In Rocky Mount NC (Interesting Report)

Posted by Curmilus Dancy II (Butch) on November 7, 2010

I found the CNN report to be quite interesting.

I was amazed at how many girls one guy had killed in another state before law enforcement found out who the killer was. It was interesting to see how some family members in other states felt the same as some of the family members in Rocky Mount that law enforcement was not doing enough. The timeline of trying to find out who was doing the murders were somewhat similar.

Andre Knight Rocky Mount City Councilman says he felt like law enforcement could have done more. My question is what more could law enforcement had done?

I found Chief John Manley’s comments to be somewhat interesting. He said he couldn’t say what he would have done differently and I feel that was a good answer.

Overall I thought the report was good and that it showed how no matter what color the victims were it appears that the family members were not satisfied with the local law enforcement.

If you missed the show check it out for yourself on Sunday.

Black farmers’ settlement is at the mercy of the Senate – CNN

Posted by Curmilus Dancy II (Butch) on July 22, 2010

Washington (CNN) — Money to pay for a discrimination lawsuit brought against the Department of Agriculture by black farmers remains stuck in a legislative body described as a place where bills go to die.

In July, the House approved a war supplemental bill that included money to pay for the settlement. It now remains stuck as senators examine the bill. (Read more @ CNN)

Note: It is funny that I was in a conversation about what our President has not done as it relates to black farmers and black folks in general just yesterday. The other person said that our President has recognized other folks by compensating them. I found the following to very, very interesting, “As a senator, Barack Obama sponsored "Pigford II," a measure in the 2008 Farm Bill that reopened the case. In February of this year, his administration brokered a $1.25 billion settlement for Pigford II. But Congress missed two deadlines, one in March and the other in May.”

Now with this in mind, this probably means that there are other things that our President has worked on and is currently working on that some folks may not even realize.

I tell everyone that I am willing to give our President the opportunity to do his thing and after his term is up, I will either vote for him or against him. But I be damn if I am going to get caught up into his every move because I can’t keep up with everything he does. I will not agree with everything he does and I am not going to write him off because he do not accomplish everything in 4 years that is dear to me.

A message to some white folks. Why in the hell don’t ya’ll leave this man alone? If you don’t want to support him simply because he is black then vote against him like you did during the past election. Stop lying on the man and other black folks in positions just because.

A message to some black folks. Why in the hell do you think our President just because he is black he can fix every damn thing over night when there has been 40 Presidents before him? Not only do some black folks want our President to fix mess over night, but they want some local officials to fix mess on the local level that they inherited for 40 years as well. Ya’ll need sit down, shut the hell up and give the man a chance. C. Dancy II – DCN Publisher
